The Beauty of the Memphis Belle by Scotland Barnes

Recently I ran across Jez’s Memphis Belle pic that he was commissioned to do (http://jez-tuya.blogspot.com/2012/03/memphis-belle.html) – and that reminded me of this sketch that’s been sitting around in hard drive.  ….yeah, any excuse to draw a pretty girl.

The Memphis Belle

The Memphis Belle, a B-17 Flying Fortress, was the first U.S. Army Air Forces heavy bomber to complete 25 missions over Europe and return to the U.S., according to officials at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Then-Lt. Robert Morgan was the pilot for the majority of the Memphis Belle’s missions and named her after his wartime girlfriend who was from Memphis.

Big O Anime Sketches: Lost Sketches from the Fabled Hard Drive

Been digging though the hard drive – found forgotten and I think un-posted sketches for BIG O. I had a script from the show – anime scripts are scary(it’s not at all like reading a screen play) – and been going how I would have designed the characters. The boards are around here somewhere…….they may yet see the light of day.
